9God, you know what every person is thinking, and because you are righteous, you always do what is just/right. So now stop evil people from doing wicked deeds, and defend all of us who are righteous!
10God, you protect me like a shield protects soldiers MET; you protect all those who are righteous in their inner being.
11You judge everyone correctly, and every day you punish wicked people.
12Whenever your enemies do not ◄repent/change their behavior►, it is as though MET you sharpen your sword and put a string on your bow to get ready to kill them.
13You are preparing your weapons that kill those whom they strike; the arrows that you will shoot have flaming tips.
Psalms 7
Psalms 7:9-13
